Whether you’re moving away from your parents from the first time or starting a life together with your boyfriend/girlfriend, stores want to convince you that you absolutely need a ton of things in order to be able to live on your own. That’s often not true. Here are three common things you probably won’t ever need and if you do, you can always by them later.
Top Sheet
There’s absolutely no reason why you need a top sheet on top of your bed, but there are reasons not to get it: you’ll make your bed quicker in the morning and have less laundry to do.
Full 12-Person Dining Set
Do you even have enough room to host dinner for 12 people? We thought so. Be realistic with your daily needs and get a bare minimum of plates and tableware, and you can always borrow or buy more if/when you have people coming over.
Matching Nightstands
Not buying your whole bedroom as a set will definitely add charm to your home. Instead of putting two identical nightstands on both sides of the bed, try spicing it up with unusual items like an odd chair, small ladder, a set of vintage suitcases, etc.
